Wow, sounds like you don’t like your SIL or her child much.
Well, I am a list maker.
If someone isn't wanting a list, I think it's bad taste to give one to her.
thanks all for your replies...
Here is my take...
But how would the other person know she doesn't want a list (unless she tells them)?
Since you don't like lists or suggestions as to what people want or need, when someone (such as your SIL) hands you a list, you don't have to take it.
If they don't want a list, that is on them.
A mother of one handing out lists rubs me the wrong way.
As for me, I've never given or received a list.
My thought about gift giving is that a gift should be given because the giver wants to do something for the receiver.
If you'd asked for ideas...I don't think there's anything wrong with her having a list of things that her child wants & asking you to pick somehting on his list....but to specifically tell someone what to buy...is rude!!!
